re: the expanse 

@izaya ah, I haven't finished the first yet. Comparing the book to the show hasn't been as compelling as I thought it'd be.
What keeps it interesting for you?

@yogthos honestly, I did a bit of both when I bought my skillet 😆

do you folks generally know about Julia Ecklar?

She sang this song about quarks with some guy whose name I never learned is how I learned she, and this fictional folk music genre, exists

the expanse 

@izaya is that in one of the books? if so, I'm not surprised it made it to the TV script: it's one of my favorite moments

A message from the Celery Disinterest council 

@readsteven celery's good though. not so great raw unless you just want to give your jaw muscles a work-out, but for soups, stews, flavoring stuffing--it's a real hitter

Just seems easier for new users if everything seems to happen seamlessly within their server, without any more logins required?

I actually would agree with your statement, replacing "server" with "client". I don't see any benefit in a server loading a lot of content from another one. On the other hand, I would be nice if frontends were able to completely load a profile from its own instance.

It also makes sense, privacy-wise, to not have your instance know about which content you browse, and to instead only use it when you need to interact.

Looks like a lot ofpeople are confused/annoyed by Mastodon and many other Fediverse platforms not backfilling old posts when an account is followed.

This complete lack of backfilling means that many new accounts or those with few followers may appear completely blank, even if they've posted lots of interesting stuff.

If you agree and think Mastodon should backfill at least some posts when people follow an account, please give this issue a thumbs up:

github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i

If you're not comfortable using github, let me know and I can try to post on your behalf.

I appreciate that they didn't kill the one black guy in the main cast.. They did kill Zazie Beets char though she had a good death scene 💉🩸

the "C" string of my ukulele resonates if I play a C tone on my computer, but the others don't.

people: what do you think of Julie Nolke's in this sketch?

(Conversely, I find Karen Gillan's American accent totally convincing.)

The Great Hierakonpolis Palette is a 31st century BCE palette thought to depict the unification of upper egypt and lower egypt, by the first pharaoh of the dynastic period, Narmer. The palette has survived 5 millenia in almost perfect condition.

@benjancewicz is there something to say about how different their visual language was back then compared to modern western art? I think modern works are much more naturalistic in how they lay out a scene and suggest relationships between figures.

@Pat gotta be Hinduism, right? it has the most gods by far
